Default Tipped one over with the 138 year old Parker

I shot a nice turkey with my 1880 O Grade Parker 10 gauge lifter today here in MN. We still have a fair amount of snow on the ground after a 18" blizzard last weekend. The sun was out today and the turkeys were to. This bird weighed 23 lbs 6 oz, 8 1/2" beard, and 1 1/8" spurs. This is the biggest Eastern I have ever harvested and my first with black powder and brass out of this Parker. I was shooting 4 drams of black powder, 1 3/4oz of #6 and #5's out of 2 5/8" 10 gauge brass.
